Te Huka ā Tai 

Te Huka ā Tai has a Māori focus, allowing tamariki (children) to try their hand at weaving a tukutuku (lattice-work) pattern. There are stilts, rākau (rhythm stick) games or you can dress up and twirl a poi (a light, circular ball attached to a length of cord). 

Come and see the stunning artworks from the pupils of Te Wharekura o Te Kaokaoroa o Pātetere in Putāruru.

There are wonderful taonga (treasures) on display, both old and new, and a research room where you can find magazines and reference books.
